In a container on your garden table or terrace this will do well as a summer plant, or year-round as an evergreen houseplant. Its flowers are the most magnificent shade of blue, shaped like butterflies.

Grow this evergreen herb in a pot and enjoy its lovely lemony scent and creamy white flowers outside in the summer months and in a conservatory over the winter. It has a bushy habit and the lemon-scented leaves can be used to make teas or as a flavouring in recipes.
